Bloor, Edward. LONDON CALLING

This month's book discussion on adbooks is for Edward Bloor's book London Calling. Time travel and history are the big draws to this book. Although set in modern times, Martin travels back to London during World War II and experiences life during the Blitz.

Bloor, Edward. LONDON CALLINGLondon calling. But how can that be? The old radio that his grandmother left him when she died seems to pull in more than just a few random AM stations. When Martin sleeps, he is drawn into the world of London during the Blitz. Sixty years ago. He meets Jimmy, a boy from the past who asks for his help. Through Jimmy, Martin is going to learn a lot more than just what went on during the Blitz. He will learn about his own family's past as well.
